Answer to:
Our pup will mess in her kennel and them walk in it back and forth against the fence. How can I stop this? Try to pick up the poop more. If she poops and it just sits there; and she is being kept in the kennel for a part of the day, then she is pretty much going to continue doing it. I've only had one dog that was really against stepping ANYWHERE he had recently pooped. Even after I picked it up, he would avoid THAT SPOT for at least 48 hours, before evidently considering it no longer "icky" to...

Answer to:
My american bulldog goes thru our electric fence, its set to the max, what else can I do? This is not all that uncommon. I've never liked electric fences for this reason. Any dog can be induced to go through an electric fence, no matter what setting you have the collar adjusted to. If the temptation on the other side is strong enough, the dog is very likely to go through. Truthfully and sadly, I suspect that if you continue to rely on this method to contain your dog, he's going...

Answer to:
How much raw meat should I feed my 4 year old 20 pound dog everyday? Dogs have a short digestive system designed to eat raw meat, raw bones and raw organs. From a Digestive perspective, dogs are wolves and there are no kibble trees in nature. Nor are their little elves slaving away at a stove cooking nice raw meats for the meat eaters in nature. Typically you feed 2 to 3 percent of the dog's IDEAL weight. You can adjust the diet according to if your dog needs...

Answer to:
My dog has suddenly stopped eating his food? Why? And what should I do? It's always a bit scary when a dog suddenly refuses to eat. As a rule, a dog will NOT starve themselves to death. However, there are many reasons a dog can "go off" their feed. The least problematic is that the dog has been accidentally spoiled. On rare occasions, when switching a dog from a commercial diet to a Species Appropriate Raw diet, some dogs just don't "get it" at first. Raw...

My Husband of 16 years says Im too needy. I'm a stay at home mom for about 13yrs. How do I stop being so needy of him? Change is hard for almost everyone, so you are in good company. Start with one day at at time. Tomorrow...DO NOT CALL your husband...not even once. Instead, go out and buy yourself a journal. When you feel compelled to call him, write down your question in the journal. Then, think about it and write down several different answers, ones you like, ones he might have suggested and maybe even...

My Husband of 16 years says Im too needy. I'm a stay at home mom for about 13yrs. How do I stop being so needy of him? Kind of a "catch all" label isn't it? I'd start by taking a good hard look at myself to see if there is any truth to what he is accusing you of. Do you "fall apart" over every little thing? Do you constantly demand that he add his two cents worth to almost every single decision you need to make throughout the day? Do you call him at work every day, once or twice a day, throughout the day?...

How much beef and rice should I feed my 80 pound dog? As a 5+ year RAW FEEDER, I have to disagree with the answer you received. Beef does not cause constipation. TOO MUCH bone can cause constipation.

My 6 week old puppy throws up after eating 2nd step puppy formula, canned soft puppy food OR puppy kibbles soaked and softened. Help please!

If your puppy was removed from the mother prior to this time, or if the Mother died, or is unable to nurse, then you would be pushing more solid food than normal, due to the situation you are faced with.

I live with a couple that got a dog (german shepherd) and its aggressive it barks at everybody but them.

If you have a "beware of dog" sign posted clearly on your front door, someone the dog doesn't know comes to the door, your dog is growling at the person, yet the person still enters through your doorway..... is it that person's own fault they get bit? It really depends upon your local laws. In some places, I've even heard that it is opening the door to being sued if you DO post such a sign, because there are those willing (evidently) to put themselves at risk in hopes of a large settlement coming their way, when they DO get bitten. My personal perspective is that I want our dogs to WARN ME if someone unknown is on my property...or even...

I think we can understand dogs more than humans. Isn't it? As someone who has trained dogs and horses for 30 plus years....I can't agree with you at all.

I live in NJ, and I paid my last month's rent and paid on time every month I was there. It sounds like your prior landlord is either dumb or a greedy ass! As shared, a deposit is intended to be used for REPAIRS, CLEANING and things of that nature, NOT as rent.

The dog would only be aloud to go outside and its very cold now so for the next 6 months she would basically have to always be in a laundry room except potty time. Yes, this is not only deprivation, but unnecessary as well! Labs are very hardy dogs, and even if your dog lacks the thick (slightly oily) double coat of a Lab, running about as a young dog should, even if on a long line will warm her right up!

Would you get fake testicle for your dog? http://www.neuticles.com/ I've already run across a beautiful Black Lab whose owners evidently have more money than God, so did this. The introduction of them caused EXTREME behavioral problems for this dog, that went beyond training issues. They are not PART OF the body, the body rejected them resulting in behaviors the dog had not been challenged with prior to this moronic introduction of a substance/mass that...

The dog, and owner then LOOSE OUT and you have a "half-assed" answer. I can't do that to people or their dogs.

My roommate and I signed a one year lease and decided not to renew it. The landlord said we'd have to pay an additional month's rent that would be on a month to month.

If you have been a good tenant and the landlord is not insisting on having a tenant that will agree to another one year lease (which, by the way protects you from rent increases$$) then it is typical that your new arrangement would automatically convert to a Month to Month tenacy....

As long as you are making sure your pooch gets regular training (mental exercise) and some good walks and runs (once it is an adult...you don't want to over run young dogs, especially large breeds!) The Gentle Giant known as a Nuffie, should do great. Remember this dog was bred to SWIM/RESCUE PEOPLE FROM THE...

It sounds like these are young dogs and a good part of humping of this nature is a matter of deciding who is in charge...DOMINANCE behavior, more than sexual behavior. (although, in my experience as a Behaviorist Trainer,...

Is it ever appropriate for a woman to pinch a man's buttocks in public? Strictly speaking, NO, it's not appropriate for ANYONE to be touching or pinching the buttocks of anyone else, in public.

Plus, especially on forums, such as this, all I can be judged by IS my writing, my words. I'd prefer that I appear to be reasonably intelligent over lazy or stupid.

My 10 month old pitbull mix is humping my leg A LOT! Her papers say shes spayed but the people that work at the place I got her from say no. If she isn't spayed could this be the reason for her humping? Humping is not just about breeding or sexual desire. It is also sometimes a sign that the dog or bitch is simply attempting to show dominance over the other dog, person, or article in use. Ten months is about the right time for most young dogs and bitches to begin feeling a bit like asserting THEIR position within "the pack" and I suspect this is part of what your girl is up...

Generally speaking, a landlord can not raise the rent (or if they have a brain and want to keep good tenants they DO NOT RAISE the rents) more than once a year, if that. Such as a...

House for rent was very cheap. It said at the bottom of the ad "House is 76 past due on mortgage." Does this mean the mortgage hasnt been paid in 76 MONTHS? You would think the bank would of already repossessed? It may be 72 DAYS...since 90 days is generally when foreclosure proceedings start up. If you love the house, the price is right and the location is perfect, find out if you renting it will cover the mortgage enough to halt the foreclosure. With my house, it did, fixed the problem right up since my Rent charged pays my Mortgage! But, some landlords either have no morals, or are so...

I was given a 3 month old pure bred French Bulldog. At certain times of the day she wants to sit in my lap and whines at my feet until I pick her up and hold her. Will I spoil her if I continue picking her up or will this pass when she gets older? I don't think there is anything wrong with "cuddling" with a beloved pet. The trick is to not allow her to always have the power of the decision. You don't want her to become insecure or overly needy. So...you ADD daily training to the mix! Using Positive Reinforcement, you teach her good behaviors that she can learn to do on command. Her SIT, LAY DOWN, COME,...

However, you have the opportunity to be gracious and go, if you would have either way.

You are in a very expensive buffet restaurant. You hear an employee say "These customers are eating this food faster than I can put it out". What do you do?

Would you send a dish back if it did not taste good or you received the wrong food? Immediately...after no more than two bites if the taste seemed off....without tasting if it is the wrong order! I would not be rude, but I'm not going to eat something and pay for it if it tastes badly or out and out spoiled! And Wrong is just a mistake that can be easily corrected!

Can you build a house with a basement but without a sump pump, even if the water table is at basement level? I wouldn't! This is a pretty big investment and the cost of having such a basic thing, is so minimal in comparison!

Say your Tenant gives you notice they are moving out and there is still four months remaining...

What must I look for in a ghostwriter? Some one not only capable of writing in the general skill areas...but also someone you "mesh" well with; who can manage to get your thoughts down on paper, in such a way as to create a cohesive flow that moves your story in the same way you would if you were doing it yourself. Honestly, of course, is also paramount.

Answer to:
What is the difference between the plot of a novel and its summary? As stated, the Summary is but a brief overview.

The Plot is the MEAT AND POTATOES that satisfies the HUNGER created by the teaser!

My dog ate my dad's leather slipper yesterday. Today her eyes are swollen. Is it related to her poor food choice, and what should I do to keep the swelling down? I would strongly urge you to check in with your vet, and let them tell you if they want to see her. This isn't typical at all. A digestive upset, I would perhaps expect could happen, but swelling of the eyes, no...that isn't normal for something of this nature. Call your Vet please!

Should you stop your dog from barking? or is that just kinda mean since that's like how they talk? (I'm not talking a dog that sits outside and barks constantly) You may be surprised to learn that dogs speak more with their BODY LANGUAGE than they do vocalizing! But, it's true. They speak to each other and to us constantly with how they stand, their eye and ear placement, how they are carrying their tails, the stiff or relaxed posture, where they are holding their heads...up high, low or mostly level with their back. Generally they bark when...

Someone who is both humble, yet confident. Generous in nature, loving in spirit. Considerate of others, but assuredly not willing to be treated poorly by anyone.

What goes on inside a dog's head when it's just sitting there? Does it get bored? Does it think? Does it not realize it's bored? Animals, including Dogs, live in the moment they are in. They CAN become bored, and that is when trouble often starts. A smart dog will become bored and often create an activity to do, in an effort to combat the boredom that we humans decided is NOT an acceptable activity for the dog to do. Dogs do "think," however, not in the same ways and means that humans do. Dogs...

Like anything else new to horses, the trick is to go slow, make it a positive adventure, use grooming, food, soft words, and it should work out fine. A great trick, used by Monty Roberts is to present the "scary thing" and then take it away when the horse shows even a moment of accepting it...present, remove, present, remove...no stress, no anger, no frustration, no big deal. ...

How to treat shouting people (always shout at you at every problem or stress)? It really depends upon the exact nature of the relationship you have with this person. A spouse or boy/girl friend would not receive the same exact treatment as a co-worker or manager, in my opinion.

If a police officer comes to your house, YOU need to have control over your dog. If needed, put the dog on a leash, place it in its crate, or put it into a...

I just gave my Doberman Dog a big bowl of 2% milk? And he drank all of it....should I be worried? This is not Species Appropriate for a dog, but it isn't going to kill him. He might get the runs, or not.

Answer to:
How do you break up a fight between two big dogs without getting yourself hurt? Unfortunately, while any of these answers might work, and while in fear a person might be tempted to try them...they ALL leave the human open to be BITTEN, ATTACKED and hurt. I like using water, preferably from a hose that provides a continuous spray. Right in their faces. If inside where this isn't practical or possible, then I use my VOICE, which with any dogs I've had or been...

Answer to:
I have 3 dogs. A Labrador Retriever, a Chihuahua and a Chow Chow which one would you guess to be the most aggressive? I wouldn't assume, without watching them in action. I've seen all three of these breeds be both the most reliable and responsive and also be chronically challenging everything and anything. Do not confuse Aggression with fearfulness or Alpha. A true Alpha dog reigns with benevolence, they are so self-assured in their position and status they do not tend to ever start fights. ...

Also Dalmatians are not known for having the most stable of temperaments...mostly because they are pretty hyper need dogs,...

Answer to:
I hit on a clerk in a fashion clothes shop. plz give me some advice on how to flirt with her! Can i buy her a coffee? what am i going to say if i want to buy her a coffee? will sending her flowers be out of date? It would be most helpful to know what her preferences are! I assume you are also female... I agree that subtle is your ticket, until you know where she stands. And that too much attention to her when she is working, is never an optimum situation. Even if she is Gay or Bi...bringing that to her work place is NOT COOL. (I wouldn't even if she was straight and you a guy! Work is...

Answer to:
How/what to use to stop dog from pooping in my yard? If you know who owns the dog, I'd say politely inform them that you do not appreciate them allowing the dog to run loose and poop in your yard. If they don't take steps to pick up or control it...Call animal control. If you don't know who owns the dog or if it is a stray, CALL ANIMAL CONTROL. While it is a sad situation for the dog, you are also preventing the dog from...

Answer to:
My 14 yr old son is ADHD and dosen't like taking his meds says they make him feel weird. Doc thinks he's gotten to point he can control on own The problem is school. They have been fighting with us about this. What's the best way to handle school? We always took our son off of his meds for Summer. This way he got an opportunity to practice working on self-control, without the stress of School. He didn't like taking his meds either and when he started High School he stopped taking them AND DID NOT TELL US. Since he had most of a bottle available from summer, we didn't notice he had stopped. When the first report cards...

Answer to:
Why do most lesbians try to look like men? Wouldn't the point of being attracted women be to like 'women' and not a woman that looks like a man? Just curious. Once upon a time, that may have been more true. But, as we all evolve...we often become more comfortable just being ourselves! Some do like dressing and acting more "stereotypically" masculine, and some do not. Some are more "Stereotypically" feminine. We do what suits us and what we are comfortable with. I like to consider myself to be a "Capable Fem."...

What are the Benefits of Debt Consolidation? It depends on the METHOD of Consolidation. Not all are created equally! Some cause your credit scores to drop in a very unpleasant manner! Also, if you are not educated about how money works..you will be more likely to fall right back into the same behaviors that caused your problems to begin with..and so it goes again! NOT GOOD! Primerica strives to EDUCATE clients (for free too) as...

Answer to:
HOW THE DEBT MANAGEMENT PROCESS WORKS? I think the first step is adopting a different mentality about money and becoming focused on what your REAL goals are, short term and long term. If you are under the age of 35 right now, it is very probable that while you are currently paying into Social Security...you will NEVER see one dime of it when you are due to retire. This means that becoming debt free is paramount to being able...

I am now on a tight budget, but want to get my boyfriend a professional digital camera for Christmas. Should I charge it to my credit card and hope for a good tax refund to pay it back? NO...this is the type of thinking that gets people into A FINANCIAL PINCH...Never spend more than you earn. Why not look for a great USED digital Camera? I joined a Yahoo Group about three years ago.

Answer to:
How long did it take you to train your dog? and what breed and sex is it? How long training a behavior will take depends upon several factors. WHAT it is that you are attempting to teach. HOW you go about communicating what you want the dog to learn. And...the VALUE of what you are offering the dog as a reward to learn the behavior. (which is part of the HOW, but more specific.) Although I have taught different dogs to do specific behaviors on command,...

Answer to:
I have a female rotty that i want to breed with this dog but they have the same grand father, great grand father and great grand mother but thats in their dad side but they're different in their mom side is there any prblem? The potential is huge for a problem, multiple problems actually, from a health and temperament perspective. There is way too much relative blood in this line to consider what you have in mind. Line breeding was a fad at one point in time. It is practiced VERY rarely now..by responsible breeders...almost never. When you line breed, the thought is to recreate the positive traits of the...
